Understanding Self and Others (USO) Group

If you're having trouble connecting with others and feeling down on some aspect of yourself, learning how others see you and how to communicate in different ways could help.

USO Groups are designed to help you learn about yourself and how you interact with others. Group members often have a variety of initial concerns, but share a desire to feel better about themselves and their relationships with others. It can be a powerful experience to realize others struggle with the same things as you do.

USO groups meet for 1.5 hours each week. Group members complete a brief group orientation with group leaders prior to the start of group.

To participate in USO group, call the Counseling Center at (859) 257-8701.
